St. Pio's Counsels and Exhortations

[Denise]

Have your mind's eye on He who immolates Himself and gives His life for the redemption of humanity.

[Denise]

Divine Goodness not only does not reject the repentant soul, but always seeks to find even the obstinate.

[Denise]

Endeavor to unite to the simplicity of children the prudence of adults.

[Denise]

But also in your work there is the operation of Jesus. Without Him you can do nothing.

[Denise]

A lie is a sin. But everything that corresponds to the truth is not sin.

[Denise]

Let us keep well engaged in our mind what the Divine Master tells us, "In our patience we shall possess our souls."

[Denise]

The cross is the standard of the elect. Let us always keep close to it and we will succeed in conquering in everything and over everyone.

[Denise]

Never let our Seraphic Father St. Francis depart from your mind, who so beautifully knew how to reproduce in himself the God-man.

[Denise]

To doubt is the greatest insult to Divinity.

[Denise]

We must know how to confide. There is the fear of God and the fear of Judas. Too much fear makes one labor without love, and too much confidence prevents from considering the danger which we must overcome. The one must go hand in hand with the other and proceed as sisters.

[Denise]

In order to console a soul in it's sufferings, point out all the good it can still do.

[Denise]

The gates of Heaven are open for all creatures. Remember Mary Magdalene.

[Denise]

Humility and charity go hand in hand. The one glorifies, the other sanctifies.

[Denise]

The sublime degree of humility is not only to recognize one's own abjection but to love it. "I have chosen" says the prophet "to be abject in the house of God rather than to dwell in the houses of sinners."

[Denise]

Obedience is mission. "I have come into this world to do the will of My Father, Who has sent Me"
